My subfolders in the new outlook seem to be sorted by date of change/creation. How can I sort them in alphabetical order?

It does not stay sorted in alphabetical order. Every time I open a subfolder, the parent folder sorts according to modify/change date (latest at the top). I want it in strict straight alpha order.
There isn't a "Sort Subfolders Z-A" in my Outlook, only A-Z.
Please see the following solution: Change the order of folders in the Folder Pane in Outlook - Microsoft Support
This works for me.
Thanks!! This totally helped! :)
This is a good example of a great function in the older version of outlook the ability to sort my subfolders to sort in the order of my choice, that is now NO LONGER an option... It would be nice when Microsoft rolls out the so called Improved Options - that you don't take away functionality that continues to give the user more control of what they want to see in their outlook... you always say you are looking to improve the user experience.... but seems like that is not always the case... ;o(
